[Pdns-users] PDNS not authoritative for it's own zones

[Tom Z. Napierala]

Hi,

I'm struggling with PDSN configuration and I noticed, that it's failing to 
provide authoritative answers for domains it's set up as a MASTER:
monitor:/etc/powerdns# dig @127.0.0.1 testdomain.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @127.0.0.1 testdomain.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 49884
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;testdomain.com.                        IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
testdomain.com.         3600    IN      A       217.74.49.10

another one:

monitor:/etc/powerdns# dig @127.0.0.1 testdomain.com SOA && 
tail /var/log/syslog

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @127.0.0.1 testdomain.com SOA

sending servfail to 127.0.0.1 (recursion was desired)



while everything seem to be alright:
mysql> SELECT * FROM domains WHERE name = "testdomain.com";
+----+-----------------------+--------------+------------+--------+-----------------+---------+
| id | name                  | master       | last_check | type   |

and:

Here is my config:
